Looking for a cheap yet fast SSD

[Nelson Torres]

I'm in need of an SSD (120 GB). I wanted to know if anyone knew one that was decently fast and somewhat cheap. I dont think i'll need more than 120gb (i only need it for my OS and start up applications) but if you think I do please give me a recommended amount

I picked up a nice Samsung 128GB 830 on eBay very cheaply ($45 shipped) that had less than 500 power on hours.

That being said, avoid OCZ, and the Samsung 840 TLC drives, there are some definite issues with those. Crucial makes very good drives, the BX100 series are quite well reviewed, and I have several MX100 and M4 drives in use which are rock solid.

I've heard nice things from the 850 Evos would that be around 60 - 70$ ?

I went cheap with ocz and really regretted it. Nothing but problems, stick to HQ stuff and get some samsung EVOs

Thats a new one on me, didn't even know AMD was making SSD's, let alone using the Radeon name for them!
The Samsung drives get great reviews, I throw my vote in for a Samsung as already suggested. They are fast and dependable. I have had no problems at all with mine.

You get an additional year on the warranty with the Samsung over the AMD drive as well.
